A side-water session, not the main event

River high but settled. Tributary pocket water is the better play today.

About this water

The Catalan Pyrenees zone is a network of managed trout waters extending across the high country above Lleida and Girona — cold streams running out of the passes, all of them holding wild brown trout, all of them requiring the zone permit alongside the standard licence. The fishing is technical and the fish are properly wild, and the landscape makes a reasonable case for itself even when nothing is rising.
